Volkswagen Polo

The Volkswagen Polo is an elderly supermini, and not very good value. Bluemotion is super-economical but makes you suffer for it.Fine seats and a reasonably compliant ride keep the Polo at a good-average level for the class. It isn^t especially roomy though, as evidenced by the lack of the third rear head restraint.The base E takes 16.5 seconds to struggle to 62. Avoid. Up the range from there things gradually improve, but fact is the Polo is stuck with many of VW^s wheezing old-generation motors. Still, old isn^t necessarily bad: the GTI has the 150bhp 1.8 turbo from the first Audi TT, and it makes good use of it. The Bluemotion undercuts the Mini Cooper D on CO2, but only a bit, and it^s dull to drive.
